[It's not Mikado that Masaomi is trying to lie to now, but he doesn't know how to say that right. The former gang leader wants, needs, this to be private. This is going to hurt. It already does. And he can't do that where people can watch. The truth is not his default setting, and he needs somewhere safe to flip the switch.
He'd like to think he's doing it for Mikado's sake too, if he ever thought that far ahead, but right now, before even considering how this confrontation can be used against them, he just needs to get out.
Masaomi's arm juts out, and firm, steady fingers stretch to wrap around Mikado's contrasting grip on the bat. If Mikado allows him that much, he's pulling the both of them straight toward the exit.]
I get it, I get it! We've got a lot of catching up to do~
[Pleading eyes and furrowed brows don't match his strained smile.]
